Project Hail Mary!!!! If you haven’t read that, read it before movie comes out. Sooooo good.

It would be funny that I've had two successful careers and both of them have been destroyed by AI if it wasn't so heartbreaking and enraging.

Do graphic designers still primarily use illustrator or is there some other tool that is currently more marketable?

I’m *extremely concerned* about the way folks are reforming their image of the cops in light of everything that’s happening, even though we only have a handful examples of them disagreeing with ICE, while still being responsible themselves for the murders of Black and brown people across the country

Since I am WAY late to fund me Friday, I'm going to keep this up through the weekend. In honor of Link who remains unjustly banned, I am doing Fund Me Friday. Drop your links in this thread and let’s get some needs met!

If you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or in despair, I highly recommend reading middle grade fantasy. An epic story of good vs. evil, where the unexpected hero must be courageous, and in the end wins, is a balm for the soul. Which stories would you recommend? Share them below. #kidlit

A fully funded public education system. UBI Medicare for all Anything else. Anything at all.

I want working infrastructure, an end to injustice, so much repair A job And everybody to LAY DOWN I want some good 🍆 and NAP Instead a gotta wonder if I’m playing enough of my part in the necessary fight to FREE A SIX YEAR OLD BOY FROM THE CAMPS

This feels like a riddle. The answer is acab, including lawmakers.

Started Ministry for the Future by Kim Stanley Robinson. So dark. But pretty good!

a huge chunk of the part of bluesky we care about: "we're getting the band back together" and it's literally swapping social media apps to get access to one (1) user's posts

ACNH update is early, also, adorable.

i know it all seems bad but i’ve been a committed cop hater for many lonely years and i’ve never seen so many people say acab and it’s beautiful

About the Same as Ezra

Life feels stupid and pointless but every January there's a new Wayward Children book and that's a nice, bright spot.

Why is SQL so excruciatingly boring?

Where do you buy sheets for a reasonable price? My last two sets only lasted six months. :( Bonus if they have dragons or unicorns!

audiobooks are great and count as reading!! if you don't like visual books or have a schedule that makes them difficult, read an audiobook!

Please help me remember that "I really don't fucking feel like it" is not a good enough reason to use my very limited paid time off.

I published a story called "Restore the Heart into Love" at @uncannymagazine.bsky.social in 2015 that turns on someone mishearing "沒心“ (heartless) as "machine" www.uncannymagazine.com/article/rest...

Has anyone used Nerdii.co ? (I know the tagline is blech.) They charge 50 dollars per interview they get you, and ten days of your salary if you land a job through them.

Fuckin, I'm on a development binge I made butji.com a resource to find anti-ai websites, tools, research, communities, and more. A little space right now, but hoping y'all have some submissions soon

I can't believe I'm closing on Christmas Eve with the worst team lead we have. It's already a shit show, it will be this way all day. I hate everything.

I took the day off work to take this assessment so now my paycheck will be down a full day's pay and fuuuuuuck everything

Absolutely bombed my most recent assessment. I thought it would be leetcode so I crammed leetcode for a few days to get my head in the right space and then got in and it wanted me to write an API. For a front end dev job. I didn't know how to accomplish literally anything. JFC

Remember when that guy was blaming light pollution on Hanukkah? Every year I think about him. Seriously what the heck.

It's possible I'm just new to vue and it will click but it seems way harder to learn and understand than react was.

Thank you so much to everyone who has donated!!

I'd like to give my incarcerated son a Merry Christmas and happy birthday. Any donations for him will be spent on store, which he usually uses for food and sometimes clothing, and media, which is used for phone calls and music. Thanks, and Happy Holidays to everyone! Paypal: [email protected]

i just want to write a lil javascript and get paid 😭 How has your commitment to the Constitution and the founding principles of the United States inspired you to pursue this role within the Federal government? Provide a concrete example from professional, academic, or personal experience.

Lol this is so shitty

@lisalamanfilmfan.bsky.social says it loud and clear in her latest: the humanity of autistic people is not up for debate, no matter the lies institutions of power spread. Autistic readers, let this piece be a reminder of all you offer to this world by existing. www.scarleteen.com/read/hey-a...

Each day: Part one is so easy, no problem, ok little problem with an edge case but I got through it, done! Awesome! Part two, lol, I should go into anything other than programming, my brain is a potato and my code is embarrassing.

advent of code is back to remind me that i am not very good at this kind of thing

Put money on my son's books, pay my bills, and maybe have a lil Christmas.

regexone.com is so rad, i just wish there was more of it

writing fizzbuzz just to remind myself i still have basic js competency

sitting in my living room practicing saying "don't touch me" "let go of my arm" "that's not funny"

I thought being old and fat would protect me but I keep getting sexually harassed at my retail job and I am so fucking OVER it.

What perfect album came out the year you turned 15? (Changed the age to match my favorites from that time. These three are basically my teen years soundtrack. Bittersweet!)

My 15 year old was still staging GI Joe guy battles on every bookshelf in the house. The idea of an adult intruding into that last breath of childhood is beyond disgusting, and so is defending it.

This is basically the entire Thing behind firesidefiction.com/carborundoru...

JavaScript math doesn't really math lol

Got this scam in a chat request in my DMs. What a weird scam. They sent a chat request instead of just sending a DM and then it shows their handle which is clearly not a dev or team one. Anyways don't fall for these or click on anything if you get one.

One of my least favorite feelings is fear of asking questions because "then they'll know I don't know".
